Santa Barbara International Film Festival Exclusive: A.I. Comes To Life In Clip From Sci-Fi 'Uncanny'

At the moment, cinema seems to have artificial intelligence on the brain.

At the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, director Matthew Leutwyler will premiere "Uncanny," and today we have an exclusive clip from the film.
